bytored Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) What a great thread. I have a few Carvins. One CT6M, A CT3M , Carvin Bass and A Hohner Bass, 1971 Epi Acoustic and a Carvin Cobalt 750 acoustic http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r262/bytored/2007Dec01002.jpg CT6M after pup swap http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r262/bytored/20080131_0186.jpg CT3M with ebony board http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r262/bytored/20081207_1520.jpg The Marshall half Stack is gone. I replaced it with a Line 6 Bogner Spider Valve and modded it with the Strymon SVpre. Also have a 1970 Fender Champ, and a Marshall AVT 20. Some old MXr pedels and various different effects Edited June 19, 2012 by bytored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 ^^^I almost bought a CTM6 pretty much identical to yours. It was going to have the quilted maple, gold hardware, rosewood fretboard with no inlays. The finish was going to be the same, or close. It's been a while since I looked at their website. But I had it all planned out. Then I got cold feet about buying a guitar I had to order and couldn't play before buying. I got a Music Man instead, and haven't regretted it. What did you replace the pickups with? I was just going to upgrade from their pickups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Check out www.carvinmuseum.com for some good info. Also I started with a used Carvin off Ebay and it made me want my own new one. I know they'll do what ever it takes to make sure you're happy with a custom built so don't let the never having played it bother you. And one of my covers on youtube (link below) uses the Carvin.

Maverick Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The CT624 got an absolutely glowing review here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdouglas Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yes, when you have both A and B on the sustain is great..singing violin like...which I love...but the noise was bit much. The tradition BBs sound a little better that the BB+ but that is really just splitting hairs. I thought since EJ used the AC I would like it, but im gonna sell it for the new BB with 3 different comp modes probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to take the plunge, I think, and get a Wampler Euphoria Drive. That is supposed to be Brian Wampler's version of a Dumble amp in a box. And if you want to look it up on YouTube, or any of the websites I've posted, it also goes by the name Ecstasy Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it looks nicer without the guard, especially on Bursts....but it bugs me looking at the screw holes when the guard is off, so I'll put it back on. All of the Traditional's now come with the pick guards. Gibson use to put them in the case, as an option.....not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
